Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

3 Credits This course will explore and define the nature and organization of the chain of command expected and proven most effective in managing emergencies. The student will be exposed to the current uses of incident control and command within FEMA and see how failure to establish a control and command infrastructure leads to chaos and a systemic inability to recover from emergencies. In addition, the incident command system (ICS) and the U.S. National Incident Management System (NIMS) will be explored in greater detail than in HS 401 including planning, implementing and evaluating either tabletop or field exercises. Connections between the NIMS, the philosophy of command and control, and interagency as well as interjurisdictional communication and cooperation will also be explored. Prerequisite: HS 401.
